Okay, now I have over 40 flights under my belt on this thing......
I have to say I still don't feel 100% confident with it. It's still loosing connection or getting some kind of interference as it will get a mind of it's own. Last night I was messing in the backyard only 1 meter off the ground was flying slowing coming towards me when all of a sudden it sat up like it was going to fly in reverse, I left go of all controls (should have went into a hover) and it sank like a rock.
I still like it, but before I take it to the park and fly high and far I need to be 100% comfy.
I fly it with (usually) a Samsung galaxy tab 4 (android 4.4.2) or as pictured above Samsung galaxy S5 (android 4.4.4) in airplane mode.
To those that have this and are having problems, here's what I've kinda figured out so far (hope I don't have to do this every day/flight:
Turn on copter (don't sync it with any device) wait for fan to come on, the press and hold power button for 15 seconds green light will flash red/green and will shut off (I think that is a factory reset) now when you power it up sync to device and open app it will tell you to calibrate (as it did when you first turned it on). This seems to clean out any cob webs and can have a confident flight(s) afterwards.
To those that do have this, please post your experiences/fixes/solutions that you have found.

doing a RMA on it. Cat toy with shoelace idea didn't work out, there was no way to exactly center the shoelace and the off center mass was enough to send it crazily careening into the wall.
